 (*Effect:* +1 inspiration bonus to attack and damage against demons if the PC makes a small appeal to Marrowmaw after a
 full heal-up.)
 
+**BEYOND:** The cave passage continues through this room to the various chambers that make up the [Hell-touched
+Colony](#07-hell-touched-colony).

+> The winding passage leads to a larger cavern broken up by natural rock wall, creating smaller interconnected chambers.
+> Light casts odd shadows from the varying stalagmites and short walls, making it difficult to immediately discern the
+> size and depth of the chamber. The rock gives off a slight warmth.
+
+Portions of this section of the dungeon have been touched by the Diabolist's influence. Also by the hellbugs. The
+corruption tears through floors of the dungeon, though the depths are not reachable from this area of the first floor.
+
+**HELLBUGS:** Two hook scuttlers and three giant scorpions prawl the cavern walls and ceilings. They can be spotted with
+a DC 20 skill check, or a DC 15 skill check with ample lighting or dungeonsense or similar extraordinary ability. Adept
+hunters, they will strike if the party splits itself up investigating the cavern, or if it seems their prey is about to
+leave. [Give the giant scorpions a hellish ability, or maybe just fire damage?]
+
+**TREASURE:** The PCs need to take some time before or after the battle to find it, but one of the chambers contains the
+skeletal remains of a long-since passed adventurer. Resting on the bones is a *+1 cloak of adroit avoidance* and a
+nonmagical ring bearing a family crest. [This should be some kind of nod or hook for something later in the dungeon.]
